The following is my attempt at a profile, at least as best as I could do without referring directly to the thread when I was in class. I separated my notes into pros, cons, neutral (could be taken either way), and personal feelings. That last section is because I know I tend to let my feelings color my judgements.
Padib: Pros: -proven to be a governor, usually a town role -makes unique contributions to discussions Neutral: -was honest about his role, cooperated in the end to test it -initially was against testing so that he could reuse his role Cons: -governors can be mafia -mafia governors tend to appear in games with other ways for town to kill besides a lynch -Source for that^: http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Governor -there are multiple town roles that can kill (two vigs, potentially a bomb?) Personal feelings: -seems sincere (perhaps to a fault) -seems to agree with me or think like me frequently -has voiced disapproval of prof at times when I was fed up with prof, which I couldn't help but like -has been really nice, at least to me and other noobs
Verdict: You know, laying it out like this makes me realize my belief in him being town isn’t as solid as I thought. Prof’s placing him as “somewhat town” actually seems right. Perhaps it’s my personal feelings talking, but I still lean town with him. 60% town |
No, I think this was very well thought through. It is roughly the same conclusion I've come to.
Also, I think the reason that I've had such a problem with Padib is because he's not being himself. I can smell disingenuousness a mile away. Not that he's doing it for a bad reason, but I'm pretty sure, and I think he will admit this, that at least earlier in the game he was either emulating, or trying to be different than himself. Perhaps he has a new role model, or he's taken after someone he knows in real life, but I can tell there is a disconnect between how he is and how he's acting.
At least that's my opinion.
